Your wedding celebrant & MC, making it official in Wānaka, and beyond.
Hello! I’m Siobháin (think Shiv-awn), a Wānaka-based wedding celebrant & MC hailing from Ireland. Dulcet tones and Irish accent included.
I’m here to help you mark one of the most important moments of your life. No pressure 😉 And if you decide to go with me, I’m going to spend a fair bit of time getting to know you to ensure your ceremony is spot on – so here’s a little bit about me.
One of my favourite parts about being a marriage celebrant & MC is getting to know each couple. All of the detail please. That way, I can help tell your love story in a carefully crafted wedding ceremony that genuinely reflects you two as a couple. When it comes time to say your I Do’s, there’s a careful balance between marking the occasion for what it is and keeping it light, easy, and relaxed. That sweet spot is different for each couple, and I love the challenge of finding the balance and nailing it.
I celebrate marriages, civil unions, wedding blessings, vow renewals and naming ceremonies. Whether you’re after an elopement celebrant or someone to click with you and your guests,, tips for writing your vows or advice on how to include that special guest in your special day, I’ll be there to guide you through the whole process. Legal bits included.
As well as a ceremony crafted just for you, for every wedding with “Siobháin the Celebrant” I’ll donate a native plant ($8) to Te Kākano Aotearoa Trust. Te Kākano is a community-based nursery who propagate native plants, and use these plants to restore habitats for our native birds and wildlife. Go on, give your marriage roots in Wānaka. Pun intended.
So, if you’re after a wedding celebrant & MC in the Wānaka area and you’re maybe a little partial to soft Irish accents, give me a bell and let’s chat. I might just be the one. The other one, that is. You’ve already found THE one.
Despite the short time she had to get to know us, Siobhain quickly picked up on our love of joking and having fun, and she brought that energy to life in our ceremony. She even suggested a different location on the property for exchanging our vows, and we are so grateful she did—our photos now have the most stunning backdrop.
Siobhain is a breath of fresh air and will make you feel completely at ease during your rehearsal and on the day. We could not recommend her more highly. If you're looking for a celebrant in the Otago region, we promise you won’t be disappointed with Siobhain!
As soon as we came across Siobháin's work on Instagram, we instantly knew she had to be our celebrant. Her warm, bubbly personality shone through from the very beginning, and we absolutely loved working with her in the lead-up to our wedding.
Siobháin is a natural storyteller and guided us through the entire process with ease, helping us create the most magical and personal ceremony. On the day, she was incredible—engaging the crowd effortlessly and even working seamlessly with our photographer to help capture some beautiful moments.
What stood out the most to us was how much she genuinely loves what she does. Her excitement for our wedding matched our own (and our guests’!), which made everything feel even more special. We can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you again Siobháin
As we are not religious, we were initially a little concerned that our ceremony might feel like it was lacking something. However, Siobhain completely put our minds at ease. She personalized the ceremony in such a beautiful and meaningful way, crafting a celebration that perfectly encaptured our relationship and felt like a true wedding ceremony filled with life and love.
On the day itself, Siobhain was a calming presence and even handled an unexpected situation gracefully, ensuring everything ran smoothly without any stress for us. She has a wonderful ability to make you feel completely at ease, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our special moment.
Siobhain delivered the ceremony beautifully, and it was evident how much thought and care she had put into it. What truly stood out was how much all our guests loved her! We received so many comments about how great she was, and how personal and engaging the ceremony felt.
We would highly recommend Siobhain to absolutely anyone looking for a celebrant in the Wanaka area. She is a true professional who goes above and beyond to create a memorable and meaningful ceremony that truly reflects the couple she is working with. Thank you, Siobhain, for making our wedding celebration so perfect!
